Is this how we want to live? Socialism?

Walter William's - Beware of socialism's results

Democrats scare out the vote

Scary quote of the day:
"JOE BIDEN has a useful saying," Barack Obama told a group of campaign donors in Cresskill, N.J. "He says, 'Don't compare me to the Almighty, compare me to the alternative.'
This quote originated from former Boston Mayor Kevin White.

Obama File 109 "JournoList" - the Soros, Google, Free Press and Obama Connections

My only addition to this info is that Frida Berrigan is the daughter of the late Philip Berrigan and niece of Fr. Daniel Berrigan - SJ.  They are the activists and infamous "Berrigan Brothers". I did not know that they served prison terms....

USSF- U.S. SOCIAL FORUM 2010 - Detroit 6/22-6/26/10 - "ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE ANOTHER US IS NECESSARY"

I've never heard of this group.....hmmmmm......

United States Social Forum

I've been reading about this upcoming 'event'....getting ready to take place in Detroit,MI on June 22-26.

USSF Press Kit (a few items of interest from the pdf)
  • "ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE ANOTHER US IS NECESSARY"
  • "Amidst National Political Transformation, The UNITED STATES SOCIAL FORUM Brings New Hope for Change"
  • "Over 20K people. Over 1500 creative actions. 2 weeks to redefine democracy."

  • "The USSF is also part of a global movement on the rise. The World Social Forum (WSF) has become an important symbol of global movement convergence and the development of alternatives to the dominant paradigm. Over the past nine years, the WSF has gathered the world’s workers, peasants, youth, women, and oppressed peoples to construct a counter-vision to the economic and political elites of the World Economic Forum. Learn more here"

  • "Understanding that WE, as activists, artists, community organizers, media makers, are the change agents we have been waiting for...... the PMC has created these living principles to address and challenge hierarchy within our movement."

What is this?

An Open Letter to Mr. Bill O'Reilly - Al Sharpton & Socialism

Mr. O'Reilly,
During your segment with Mr. Goldberg, you claimed the 'far right' was very 'stirred-up' today...as in-way over the edge...and talk radio was 'there' too (paraphrasing).  I believe there is enough evidence to support that feeling/opinion. 

There are many concerned citizens in this country who have family members that fought and died for this country and are watching it being over-thrown right before their very eyes and ears. 


Al Sharpton:
"First of all, then we have to say the American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they elected President Obama," Sharpton said. "Let's not act as though the president didn't tell the American people - the president offered the American people health reform when he ran. He was overwhelmingly elected running on that and he has delivered what he promised."
"I don't understand Republicans saying this is against the will of the American people," Sharpton said. "They voted for President Obama who said this was going to be one of the first things he would do and he has done the first hurdle of that tonight. So I think the American people was very loud and clear. This was not some concept the president introduced after he won. He ran on this and the American people won tonight because they got finally something from a president they voted for."
What say you? 
Does this revealing info. not upset you?

And, if I might remind you....YOU sir, are an 'ENTERTAINER' too! 

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." -- French economist, statesman and author Frederic Bastiast (1801-1850)

Socialism in the US & The Culture of Death

Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey

"The stimulus bill does that, and calls it the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (190-192). The goal, Daschle’s book explained, is to slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are driving up costs. He praises Europeans for being more willing to accept “hopeless diagnoses” and “forgo experimental treatments,” and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system."

More....Stimulus contains rationed medicine'Safe, effective' treatments soon to be limited by 'cost'

I spoke with a dear friend of mine last night, as President Obama's press conference was beginning. She shared with me her concerns over the condition of her brother. He lives in Hungry and was just recently diagnosed with lung cancer. Doctors found many spots on both lungs. Under their socialist medicine, he is presently scheduled and waiting a month for his CT scan of his lungs.

Here we go.... Abortion and euthanasia....

Catholics & Socialism - Stephanie Block

Catholics and Socialism
Pope Piux XI once said that no one can be a "sincere Catholic and a true Socialist" at the same time. Some Catholics appear to continue to argue the point.
